a nylint for axialfest build
 

So i picked up the super dupper extra extra raw raw axials builders kit "frame rails " for for my nylint heep there scx10ii rails i got a r3aly good deal on them although i still feel like i payed for the name and not the actual frame rails but its for axial fest lol if it realy dose happen and isent to far away or cost a servo arm and a wheel to get in lol the plan so far is the scx10 rails a wraith skid some kind of drop brackets to the shaft angle isent to steep alloy ar60 axles a 2 speed on the skid and my own twin motor forward set up and im thinking 2 cheap brushless motors or maybe 2 550 can 21t motors and im realy wanting to run leaf springs front and rear with some swampers on it to complete the look

Sounds like it will be an awesome build!
Any progress this week?

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

I left the rest of the parts up north ill be getting them on the next trip up

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

i went up and got the rest of the parts for this build i started on the leaf springs im using a old rake for the spring steel for the leafs i dont like how the frame plays with the body but i can make it work i might chop up another frame to extend this frame but i havent decided yet i thought about using the traxxass frame rails but its gona be a leaf sprung truck so i dont see the advantage of using the frame as link geomitry isent a issue i dought im gona have this ready for axial farce this year but it should be up and running by the next one and they should be back at cisco grove by then

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

i got some work done on this rig i cut the interior up and droped the floor then rebuilt it all the i thought i had more pictures but i cant seem to find any but heres one with the interior before i dropd the floor

i need to make risers for the seats they si5 way to low now

https://i.imgur.com/W0B2YKml.jpg

after playing around with this rig i realized i need a longer frame so i picked up another one ill cut the 2 and weld them together when i get to that point i needed to get 5he floor done first so i can see were th3 frame is gona ride

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

i made alittle progress on this rig the frame has been streched to fit the body and i broke down and bought some leaf springs i think there a little short for the size of this rig but they should still do the job anyway there mounted the ssd hd60 got stolen for another build so im back to square 1 on the axles
ive been trying to get my other rigs up and running and havent been building as much as i would like but hay thats how it goes some time i thought i had some pics but i dont ill post them up asap

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

figured i would update this thread since i picked up a pile of parts it now has a frame a wraith skid with a 2 speed trans mounted to it as a transfer case and a scx10 trans up front a devolver to mount to it powered by a mmx esc for now anyway atleast 1 axle 4 leaf springs i havent decided if i want to go with the ssd hd60 centered housing or a alloy ar60 axle for the rear i like the centered diff but i like the wieght of the alloy axles too

ill take some pics tomarow

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

Looks good sofar. It's been a long while, almost eternity since I have last seen one of these bodies! I still have my 1/6 Scorpion. Hats off to you for using such a Og body to build something cool.

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

thank you sir i cant wait to see it finished
these extremly slow builds realy test the patiants



the scorpion was a cool rig i remeber seeing it at tuff truck and was in aww of it

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

That is just bad. What a cool build.

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

Thank you sir its kinda a slow build but im enjoying it

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

I picked up some gmaid spring purches and have the axles attached securely to the leaf springs

the battery tray is in i just need to figure out were to mount the esc

i mounted the servo outside the frame rails its kinda a funky place but it works theres lots of clearance there so im gona role with it

I realy like the kinetic winch i used on my cc01 so ill probably go that route on this one too just to keep things simple

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

doing great job man....
I've be setting aside a G.I. Joe build for years and been saving parts that are old school now and thinking of leaf spring set up.. I have lots of parts on hand and may try a Yeti transmission in mine hope it goes well and with your build also..

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

Thanks yo I saw your GI Joe build I'll be keeping a eye on it for sure

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

I got everything worked out and installed I got a few test runs in and this thing is a beast so much torque I don't have any idea how its gonna do temp wise I haven't gotten to run it long enuff to tell the steering is funky I'm loosing a lot of torque from body role turn right the front right dips and same to the left I might try to stiffen the front springs too I had to add a extra leaf to the rear already the torque was bending the leafs they feel good now I used a tamiya main leaf to stiffen the pack
The trans isent shifting so I have to tear it apart and fix it but that's not a big deal
Its pretty much teardown time I need to fab up some bumpers and sliders and mount the winch system and paint everything then I can put it together again
I'm really liking the new wheels but I'm not liking the wheel hex with the built in rotors I think I want wider hexs so I might just change them out there just not the look I was after
I need to find a driver that fits it and make up a few scale accessories for the back
I am gone use the plastic box from my Holmes servo as a fuel tank and a old drill bit box for a cooler I found this really cool scale glock with working slide and removable clip so that's going in there somewhere too its not done yet but its moving under its own power now but there's still along way to go

Pics coming soon

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

Yay pics

The packing is vary interesting seeing as how they came from China lol

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

Quick update

I've been chasing an shifter problem it doesn't like high gear first issue was the hole was machined wrong and dident line up I fixed that then the shifter cog would seize up if it wasn't shifted nicely so I ground the gear slots out so they dont bind anymore it still feels like there's sticky points but I won't know till I get it back together I picked up a dirt cheap ESS setup it works good to mask the outrunner noise it sounds like its supercharged now lol and I mounted the speakers in the bed for a scale look I just need some scale speaker grills
I started some simple bumpers the back came out nice but I'm not sure on the front yet
I have a driver on the way I picked up some plastic epoxy to stiffen up the role cage I have some spring steal I'm gonna epoxy inside the role bar so it holds its shape better then I get to tear it all apart and paint it

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

Cool thanks man...Also I like the way you upside down the old school transmission great idea for maybe a future project.."thumbsup"

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

Here's a pic of the hole drilled out I dident get a pic after I ground out the gear

And the bearing on the back of the steering wheel and servo horn

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

I made up some really simple bumpers and sliders I finished my he front one its now ready for he winch and its not perfect but from 5ft away it looks great the sliders are welded up but still need paint and I still need to weld up the rear bumper but it will work for some testing
While chasing slop in the steering I found my front axle is about 1/8" off aperently i dident get the housing ground down flush so one leaf pack is sitting kinda sideways so I need to fix that I got the wheel offset I wanted
My driver is in the po box right now so I'll pick that up soon then make his head turn along with the steering wheel
It still needs shocks and some under body protection that will tie in to the sliders and hide that uglyness

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

That's some great progress! Wish i could say the same for my builds.

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

Lol 3 years since I started this build lol but hay life happend 2 moves and a new house that needed a lot of work still not all the way moved in and still have a lot of work to do and some were in there I had to do a engine swap on my diesel tow pig so I can finish moving but this rig is getting close to being done now lol



I actually took it out to the rocks for a test it turns out allthread turns noodle soft if you don't sleeve it lol i fixed that then noticed the servo mount isent up to the task so I need to build a solid mount THIS RIG WILL STEER some day lol

The sound kit really helps with the noise the revolver makes gives it that supercharged sound kinda lol

As soon as in can come up with a camera I'll get some video of it in action



My first impression of this rig is good it feels well balanced and it climbs good the wheel speed in high gear is awesome and the torque in low also is awesome in my 10min till my all thread noodles cooked it felt great

I'm not sold on the Holm's hobbies servo just yet it feels week but even struggling with these big tires and a vary heavy rig its not even warm nether is the motor so they will!probably last longer than the rig itself

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

i got out and did some more testing everything worked realy good except for the steering im gona try and tighten it up some more but theres almost zero slop but it dosent seem to hold its position vary well every little rock pulls the front end every witch way looks like a drunk going down the trail i might try to mount the servo on the axle and see how that dose but then i would have to move 5he motor back not to big a deal but i would rather not
anyway heres a quick video out on my backyard test trail

https://youtu.be/cvV90kCsw4k

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

i decided to mount the servo on the axle but space was limited so i mounted the servo on the axle tube nice and low and that seems to be working out it dose hit the transmission but i dont want the springs to compress that far anyway and it dosent limit the articulation any so im gona leave it and moving the servo makes alot more room for the shocks to sit
the micro servos came in so now the steering wheel and the drivers head move i have a servo reverser for the driver coming because he looks right when i turn the wheels left

the body is taking a beating so i think im gona make some body protection pannels ans some tube work on the front i dont want this body to get too beat up
and the new ssd output shaft is on its way so it will be 4 wheel drive again

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

i started the front end tube work

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

Looks great! Good job. I need to get back on my builds. 8)

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

i did a few test runs on this rig and figured it needed some body protection i used some light waight aluminum dimond pattern stuff on the rear and sides and some tube from the stinger to the sliders

i just need to clean up the welds and hook all the electronic shibit back up put the winch back on and i should be able to call it a.day

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

i dident have any plans to change this up but i scored a dirt cheap set of ryft axles i had planed to use them on my wraith but there just so much axle there i thought it would be to much for the wraith so that brings me back to the heep

i dident like that i had to use huge wheel spacers to get the tires were i wanted them on the ar60s so the ryft axles being about that much wider it just made sence to pull the axles and swap in the ryft axles there alot heavyer and have alot more scale

the problem is the leaf springs i will have to cut alot of metal to get the leafs to work

pics of the axles at the start

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

i got the rear cut up and installed the shackles kinda got a lean to them lol the mounting points are just a hair wider but its kinda working out there seems to be less slop in the springs now lol

these pot metal axles took alot of grinding that metal is hard
i opened up the driveshaft a mm to fit the axle

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

How did I miss this? Fantastic. I would have kept the cage blue, so us old-timers can recognize it easier, for the nostalgia factor.

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

thanks yo

the cage mods werent perty so i hid them with epoxy and paint

Re: a nylint for axialfest build
 

Looking good to me !

I'm a fan "thumbsup"

Kept my cage blue until I added the horizontal tubing above the dash...
that and I had to raise the entire cage about 1/4" for some reason.

https://youtu.be/Gbm-UYKWCag

So the black had to cover up them boogers. Luckily I just sprayed on
some black plastic dip spray and it comes off with some sprayed on charcoal fluid.
Not that I'm concerned because I have another complete TJ Jeep and blue cage to revitalize it when my Jeep becomes unrepairable. Plus I think I have one of those 1/6 scale Scorpion bodies as well. https://photos.app.goo.gl/RgbXZZn3N5pbUPra8
But threw away two of those 1/6 scale toy Nylint RC chassis.

I personally think it looks better when it's all black.
